10 Downing St
10 Downing St, London SW1A 2AA, UK
Official residence of British prime ministers since seventeen thirty-five, deceptively modest facade concealing roughly one hundred rooms.
This guide to 10 Downing Street in London starts with the plain black door on the street and what it hides: a sprawling complex of interconnected properties behind that modest terraced-house front. It then goes back to 1735, when King George the Second handed the house to Sir Robert Walpole, widely regarded as Britain's first prime minister, as a personal gift. Most men of that era would simply have taken it and said nothing. Stand back from the railings for the best view of the whole facade while you listen.
